Astronomy graduate students benefit from scholarship fund
William Harris, a professor emeritus in the Department of Physics & Astronomy, recently donated $400,000 to create the William & Caroline Herschel Fund at McMaster. Named after William Herschel (1738-1822) and Caroline Herschel (1750-1848) – a brother and sister pair who were prominent and highly influential pioneers in astronomy – the fund will support graduate scholarships and post-doctoral fellowships in astronomy at McMaster.
